So, I traveled to Anambra State from Abuja with two of my male friends last weekend for a program, and the experience I had on the road left me thinking of what actually is our security agencies doing in this country in other to secure people's life and properties especially in this ember month.

The two guys that I traveled with had the Army cap placed in front of the car and I was sitting at the back of the car. All through our journey, none of the NIgerian Forces stopped the car to do a normal check up,, instead they were busy saluting the guy on the steering.
Police force, Army, Civil defence, FRSC, were busy saluting an "Ordinary Civilian" ? Because of the army cap he placed on the car? I was really pissed with those security personels on the road and this left me with so many questions like;

What if I was a kidnapped victim in the car?
What if there was a dead body on the car boot?
What if they are arm robbers that just robbed some people and decided to use the cap as an.escape means?
What if they are yahoo boys or drug dealers or the car was stolen?
So that is how they could have escape right under the nose of all the security personels at every checking points.

This is wrong!!!
I'm writing this because I was not happy with the experience I had last weekend , and I believe that the Nigeria Security personels should try and put things in order. That you see someone putting one of the security regalia in his car doesn't make the. person one of you, the individual might just be using that as an excuse to escape at each checking point.
Please move to the front page.

Thank you.

They are afraid themselves, what do you expect them to do?

Stop the car and immediately one of them wind down, he shoots one of them?


Their lives are important to them also. No better weapons to combat or face them if it happens....


No one is safe.


If ballot boxes could be snatched in front of security agencies, bank robbed in broad daylight, police officers pass you by at Opiweka at night when being robbed by deadly 6 guys comfortably, boko haram members caught then later released, Sars men shoot innocent young citizens, police shoots in the open knowing fully well that people are around, armed robbers robbing a police station, police man shooting a bike rider just because of #50.

Forget it no one is safe again in this country, even police officers ain't safe talk more of politicians.

The only way out is "revolution, total overhaling in the armed forces "

Thank you.

Though u have a point but I am very sure the essence of leaving the cap on that dashboard was for a smooth pass which u guys enjoyed, so I believe u should start the preaching from ur friends by telling them to take off the cap on the board especially when they are not even uniform men.

Very nice thread, I have been in situations where I saw such happen and was left wondering. What if this? What if that?

I hope they see this thread and take necessary corrections.

OP, shey you know that guy might be on Nairaland. No more ride for you o.

Good point too.

I was in a car, we got to a checkpoint and he refused to stop. I changed it for him badly. I was livid!!! What does it take you to stop? What if they open fire on us? Why risk our lives because you think we are running out of time? We all know how trigger-happy Nigerian police are, yet you conveniently risked our lives. Next thing, our dead body will be on social media.

We should be able to sensitise our loved ones. I am of the opinion that the change begins from all of us. I am not perfect, but I am doing my best not to circumvent the system that was put in place to protect me/us.

Thank your stars there was no military checkpoint if not dem for troway frog jump for inability to identify themselves...

Yes we really had a smooth ride that day, it was fun watching those uniform men salute us,but I cautioned my guys about it anyway.

You have a point here, to the extent that we even overtook each car at every traffic in front of any army check point and they couldn't do anything.

Did you read the write up at all? And how did you expect not to see any military check point from abuja to Anambra State?

U should start by telling them that what they did was unlawful before coming on nairaland to condemn our country. Change begins with u.
